SKY EDITING BASED ON IMAGE COMPOSITION

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a sky editing system and related processes for sky editing. The sky editing system includes a composition detector to determine the composition of a target image. A sky search engine in the sky editing system is configured to find a reference image with similar composition with the target image. Subsequently, a sky editor replaces content of the sky in the target image with content of the sky in the reference image. As such, the sky editing system transforms the target image into a new image with a preferred sky background.
